On its highest power setting, a microwave oven increases the temperature of 0.400 kg of spaghetti by 45.0 °C in 120 s. The specific heat of spaghetti is 3760 J/kg °C and the microwaves are absorbed over a circular area 20.0 cm in diameter. What is the peak electric field strength of the microwave radiation?
